The objective of this research was to explore the potential for utilizing cellulose-based waste fluff that constitute a significant portion of the solid waste of textile industry to obtain high yield hydrogen gas and ...

Waste cotton linter was evaluated for production of activated carbons (ACs) that can be used as catalyst support in aqueous-phase reforming (APR) process. Activated carbons were prepared by two different precarbonization ...

In this article, we report a simple, cost-effective and eco-friendly method of airbrushing for the fabrication of antibacterial composite nanofibers using Nylon-6 and silver chloride (AgCl). The Nylon-6 is a widely used ...

The direct hydrothermal conversion of waste biomass to 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (5-HMF) and levulinic acid was studied here in the presence of new biomass-derived sulfonated carbonaceous solid acid catalysts. Different ...

In recent years, the utilization of biomass resources in the production of industrial chemicals and fuels become more preferable when considering low cost, renewability and environmental concerns. In this study, ...

In the present work, a series of Pt-based bimetallic and trimetallic activated carbon (AC) and multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) supported catalysts at a 10 wt% total metal loading were prepared by wetness impregnation ...

Recent research attention is shifting towards the use of bioactive antimicrobial and/or antioxidant packaging materials and their fabrication with non-toxic techniques. The process of melt electrospinning produce fibers ...

Aqueous-phase reforming (APR) of sorghum hydrolyzate was performed in a fixed bed reactor applying response surface methodology (RSM) based on the Box-Behnken design (BBD) to produce hydrogen gas. The results showed that ...

Infection associated with biomaterials is a serious and widespread problem in clinical and translational medicine. Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) is a medicinal herb widely used as an antimicrobial agent. The objective ...

In this study, the conversion of corn straw, sorghum and cellulose into valuable chemicals (furfural, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, levulinic acid) in different ionic liquid-water medium were investigated. Different reaction ...
